Description
2216 SOB Ultra-Narrow LED Strip Light | 5mm | 12V | 348LEDs | 8.62mm/cut | #20973 Designed with a narrow PCB board width of only 5mm, it can easily be embedded into various micro aluminum slots, concealed slots, cabinet shelves, and display cabinet edges, making it an ideal choice for modern non main light design and minimalist linear lighting. By adopting high integration SOB packaging technology, the chip is tightly integrated with the circuit substrate, greatly shortening the heat dissipation path, reducing the chip junction temperature, and enhancing its bending resistance. Simultaneously possessing high color rendering performance, it realistically restores the original texture and color of the object being photographed. Adopting 12V standard human safety low-voltage DC power supply, it generates low heat during daily operation and is very suitable for areas such as cabinet shelves, baseboards, and escalators that are close to the human body. The optimized circuit architecture effectively controls current attenuation and heat accumulation, significantly extending the service life of the light source and ensuring long-term stable operation. Suitable for architectural lighting, bars, home decoration, cabinets, living rooms, bedrooms, hotels, club lighting, theaters, stores, restaurants, and home DIY lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary advantages of the 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip for integration into tight spaces?
The 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip offers a 5mm width, enabling discreet integration into confined architectural details, furniture, or display cases. Its high LED density (348 LEDs/m) combined with SOB technology ensures dot-free illumination, providing a continuous line of light even in close proximity to diffusers or surfaces.
What is the maximum recommended run length for the 12V 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip to avoid significant voltage drop?
For the 12V 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip, the maximum recommended run length to maintain optimal brightness and color consistency typically depends on the specific power consumption per meter and wire gauge. DENO LED recommends consulting the product's technical datasheet or performing voltage drop calculations for precise project specifications to prevent degradation.
Can the 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip be customized for specific project requirements, such as different lengths or IP ratings?
Yes, as an OEM/ODM manufacturer, DENO LED offers customization options for the 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip. This includes specific cut lengths, varying IP ratings for environmental protection, and potential modifications to power or color temperature, subject to project volume and technical feasibility. Consult with DENO LED for specific customization inquiries.
What certifications does the 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip hold, and what does this signify for quality and safety?
The 2216 SOB ultra-narrow LED strip holds CE, UL, and RoHS certifications. CE marking indicates conformity with European health, safety, and environmental protection standards. UL certification signifies compliance with North American safety standards, while RoHS restricts the use of hazardous substances, ensuring environmental responsibility and product safety.
Is this SOB strip light also called FOB, S-COB or COB Pro strip light?
Yes. Model 20973 belongs to the DENO SOB (Spot on Board) family, which the market also calls FOB strip light, S-COB strip light or COB Pro strip light. All three names describe the same dot-free chip-on-board LED strip construction, so you can quote it under whichever term your project specification uses.
Why choose this S-COB strip light over a standard COB LED strip?
Compared with conventional COB LED strip, DENO SOB / FOB strip light supports higher power up to 24W/m instead of roughly 12W/m, CRI 95 and full-spectrum options, SDCM <=3 colour consistency, and single-end power feed at 5m, 10m and 15m without visible head-to-tail brightness loss, with higher luminous efficacy and lumen output.
Classic COB LED Strip Light (SOB) — Buyer Questions
What is a classic COB LED strip used for at 12W/m?
The classic dotless LED strip 24V line covers general architectural work: cove, shelf, joinery and corridor lighting between roughly 3.6W/m and 15W/m. 256 to 544 LEDs/m on an 8 mm or 10 mm board gives uniform light with no spots at any viewing angle, which is why it is the default choice for aluminium channel and profile installs.

How high can the LED density go on a high density COB LED strip 24V?
DENO ships classic SOB boards at 256, 320, 384, 420, 544 and 736 LEDs/m. Above roughly 500 LEDs/m the line is fully homogeneous at 10 mm from a lens, and the 736 LEDs/m build is used where the strip sits behind a shallow reveal and the eye can see the source directly.

Which reel lengths ship — 5m or 10m rolls of dotless LED strip?
Standard reels are 5 m for constant-voltage classic boards and up to 15 m for the constant-current versions. Custom cut lengths per reel are available on OEM orders so an installer can pull one continuous run per bay instead of joining offcuts.

Is there an IP67 version of the classic dot-free strip?
Yes. The 11236-IP67, 14158-IP67 and 14159-IP67 builds keep the same dot-free surface under a moulded coating for damp bathrooms, kitchens and covered outdoor lines. The coating adds a millimetre of thickness and slightly reduces the minimum bend radius, so allow for it inside narrow profiles.

Do you sell general lighting COB LED strip wholesale?
Yes — the classic range is the volume line for distributors and fixture makers. MOQ, private-label printing on the reel, custom cut units and branded packaging are all available, with CE/RoHS documentation and a 5-year warranty on every wholesale order.
SOB is the upgraded generation of the COB LED strip
Every SOB board on this page starts from the classic COB recipe — one continuous phosphor line, zero visible dots — and rebuilds it on flip-chip dies and thick copper. The result keeps the COB look but runs to 24W/m, holds CRI 95 and stays within SDCM ≤3 over the full reel. If your project is comfortable at 4–12W/m, the classic COB range remains the economical choice; if you need double the output or a 15 m single-feed run, you are already on the right page.
